A two-year experiment was carried out to study the effects of pollinator line characteristicson the quantity and quality of monogerm hybrid seed production in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.)and select proper pollinator for five promising sugar beet cytoplasmic male sterile lines (CMSs)during 2012-2013 growing seasons. In this study, four diploid pollinator lines were crossed byfive CMSs of sugar ...

for optimum utilization of saline soil and water resources, various methods have been proposed. application of best management practices and selection of salt tolerant cultivars are two important issues. selection and breeding for salt tolerant cultivars require potential genetic materials, screening and evaluation of them in laboratory and field experiments. starting in 2000, 80 sugar beet gen...

low water consumption in autumn sugar beet sowing is an important strategy for sugar beet production, especially in arid regions like iran. for the development of a new monogerm triploid hybrid called sharif which is bolting tolerant and suitable for autumn sowing in khuzestan province, a breeding program was started in 1994 and continued for16 years. this program had two stages; the first stag...

background and objectives: over the last two decades, a large number of researches have been conducted regarding the importance of nitrogen in sugar beet. this indicate that there were needs to investigate more on nitrogen management to achive higher production and quality because less nitrogen application result in reducing yield and high nitrogen application would increase production costs an...

Two sensitive spectrophotometric methods are presented for the assay of Repaglinide in bulkdrug and in formulations using methyl orange, as reagents. Oxidant by reacting with a fixedamount of either methyl orange and measuring the absorbance at 485.2 nm (method-I) andmeasuring the absorbance at 618.9 nm (method-II). Developed method is based on the formationof extractable colored complex of dru...

Portable, non-destructive chlorophyll meters could be a valuable tool for forest managers and researchers. The ability of such meters to assess both chlorophyll and nitrogen content has been well established for many agricultural species, but not wellstudied for North American forest tree species. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of a portable chlorophyll meter to estimat...

In line with sustainable agriculture that depends on modern methods and new sources of non-traditional irrigation, a field experiment was conducted at privet farm behind Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road, Giza, Egypt during two seasons to evaluate five sugar beet varieties under water salinity stress condition. The present work included 15 treatments; represent varieties: viz. Multi-germs (Amina, Fa...
